went to bed wishing It was morning, so
I could go to work, and I dreamed Tim
othy and his mother were playing base
ball with pumpkins, and using the axe
for a 'ball cub. After breakfast, next
morning, I hurried Into the kitchen, put
on my baking apron, and proceeded to
begin the- delightful task. I do not ppeak
ironically when I say "delightful," task
for I Was eager to teat my skill, and
prove to that plo-lovlng Timothy that
there was one woman In the world who
could make hb good pumpkin pies as
motncr.used to!
I concluded that I wouldn't mike more
known.
"You take soma of your pumpkin and
put it In a basin or pin or bowl or little
pall, or anything you happen to hive
that will hold all you want to fix; pur.
In some milk."
"How much?" I asked.
"Oh, I don't know; It depends on how
much pumpkin you have; put In a pinch
of salt."
I looked at her fingers to see how
much one of her "plnehea" would be.
"Take, some eggs."
"How many?" I asked.
"Oh, well, child, Just as many as you
can afford. Home take more and some
take less. And sug.ir; and then nut in

elded to wait till Timothy came home
nnd ask h'lm. Alny'be he'd know. As soon
as I heard his step at tho door. I (lew to
tell him or my sniveia.
"They're all done, and they're beauti
ful, only 1 havon't put tho top on yet,"
w.is my greeting ns ho opened the door.
"And don't you know how your mother
used to do It and don't they"
"Why, what are you talking about,
Dolly?" asked Timothy, as soon ns he
could.
"Why, come and see-p!es my pies
Ain't they nice? It I only knew how they
put tho yellow top on."
"Well, Dolly," said Timothy, as ho be
gan to laugh, and then tried not to. "J
guesi for this once we'll try them a they
are-rwver mind the top. p.ul didn't you
know, dear, that folks don't put a top
crust on pumpkin pl.s? You've got too
ini!el top, instead of not enough, but wf
can pai mem an tn same, I guom. Ncv.
er mind. Mistakes will happen to the
best of cooks."
I watn't ex.vctly tatifhVd, but raid
nothing, and sat down to the tabli wltlt
my enthusiasm somewhat abated. We
got through with the itenk and potatoes,
etc., and then I cut the p:e and brought
a plwe of It to Timothy. I thought It
seomed funny, as I peered between the
rruste, but concluded further remarks
from me might be better mir i!d, Wl
only seemed to expose my Ignorance.
Timothy looked at It rather suspiciously,
I thought, then balanced a dainty morsel
on his fork and tasted It. Il. swa. lowed
It by also taking a big drink of e.ifi'.e
to help It along, liitf instead of taking
any more, he put down hl; fork and
looked ueron the table at me, with nls
face drawn In spite of him into a smile.
"Dolly, how did you make this pie?"
"How?" I asked; "why, put tho pump
kin and covered It up. and tucked In
ail snug around th edge Jmt as any
body would."
"Didn't you stew It?"
"What! the pie? No, of couivo not!"
I replied, Indignantly, thinking he .
oiilMli'g me.
"Oh. dear; I didn't know you had to,"
1 sobbed, Just as the laugh acos the
table broke out uncontrollably;, but It
cead it tin tears rolleJ down my
chieks.
"Well, poor Utile girl," h raid, "you
didn't know, did you? I'll h.ive mother
come down here for a vlxlt, and show
you bow; then we'll have om. pes,
n't we, Dolly?"
I lovtd Timothy's mother, so I was
ld to have her come. She had hardly
been In the house an hour when 1 drew
my chair up cloxe and asked her U' she
wou.u Degln at the beginning and tell
, me how to make pumpkin pies.
"Why, yes, child." sjl.1 she, taking oft
ner sprciarles and'lplrig the
;(, ur tiiiies. i Kept saying it over
to myself as, I went n'bout mv work nfiep
Timothy's mother had gono, and made
up. a little tune and kept singing la

a whole verse.

cneese, and our throats smarted for an
hour after our repast, owing to tho over

Timothy all tho while supaoslnir thev
came from the bakery, saying row and
then:
"I believe they mui-t have a ne.v baker

Vtny, of rourso, tliey arc not like
ner.i, 'lie raid, "but then, for baker's pies
they are exceptionally good."
One day Timothy's mother rime over
to see him on business. She arrived In
the afternoon and must return next day
on the 11:20 train. I had some pumpkin
already stewed, ready for pls, and a
happy thought struck me-she should
make the pie. The next morning I tleii
my big gingham apron around her portly

othy. taking up tho thread whers- his
mother had dropped It, "thotrs dear 67d
pumpkin pics. I can almost taste them
now."
"Well, wu will have soino loinorro, my
son," was the reply.
Tomorrow came and brought wltli It a
bountiful supply of work, so J went into
the kitchen after breakfast to help. No
"hired h..'lp" ruled there, ro I felt free
to do this.
"Well, I spose I must make some pump.
kin pies for Timothy," she said, as she
came up from the cellar, witn a pan o
milk ; and that makes ire think, Doro.
tny. What on earth did you mean by
making such ugly eyes, and all them
curls motions last night?"
Then I told her my ruse about the pies,
and when I repeated what Timothy said
the burst out laughing.
"The ungrateful scamp!" said she
"he's gettin' too particular; you must
take his high notions down a bit. l'l
warrant your pies are better'n mine, if
you've rpent so much time practicing.
Folks tufiu cnanges as iney grow oiu

Timothy. The hungry schoolboy of fif
teen vears ago ain't the same as the
busy man of today not on the vittles
question. Now, I want you to make the
nits today, Dorothy, and 1 won t let on,
and he'll think I made 'cm, and let's see
what ho will say.
Dear old Mother Clover! I ran up and
put my arms around her neck and hugg
ed her until she grew red In the face and
her spectacles fell off, I was so pleasu
with this Idea of her old brain. I made
the ules after my own recipe I had work.
ed out In my kitchen worked out with
hopes and fears with expectation and
trembling; but with final victory. I had
measured everything, from the salt to
the sugar, and I knew how. They came
out of tha oven rich and yellow, with a
tinge of brown over their 3hlning tops,
nnd a delicious odor that made Mother
Clover snfff her nose and say, as she
saw them In a row on the pantry shelf
"Well, well, Dorothy! Them beats mine.'
"I couldn't cat much dinner, I was In
nuh a hurry for pics. "Now, mother,
said Timothy, at last, "all ready for
some of that famous pie you promiseJ
me."
The old lady gave a sly wink and went
into the kitchen, and brought In a large
pleee, handing It to Timothy, and one
also for his father. "That's It," Eald
Timothy, as soon as he tasted It, "the
very fame, I'd know that anywhere. Now
Dolly, If you'll learn just how to make
euch plea as this, and make mo some
whsn we get home, I'll buy you a nice
silk dress. Dolly's a splendid cook, moth
er, but you know it's quite a knack to
make plea like yours. I suppose It takes
a good deo.1 of experience.
"Seems to me these are better n usual,
mother, Said Father Clover. "Yes, your
mother does make uncommon good pies,
Timothy. "
"My son," said Mother Clover, "don't
you think you are a little grain notional
about pumpkin pies? Now, I believe Dor
otliy can make just as good a pie as
this."
We have had pretty good ones from
the bakery," replied Timothy, "but the
.Inst wo had were horrid. They're not to
bo depended upon.
Tho oM mother looked at me and i fte t
her eyebrows. My face felt as hot
though It had kept company with the
pies in the oven. She thep looked straight
at Timothy. "Timothy, my son, that
statement don't seem ti arcc with your
other remarks about your mother' cook
ing."
"I was speaking of those we hid at
home," he answered, "from llrown's bak
ery." "I thought maybe you meant the batch
I made when I was there last wiek."
"You mad??"
"Yes; I made some for you."
"Why. you didn't say anything about
It, Dolly," said Timothy, looking re
proachfully at me. "Were those the
ones?"
"Yes," 1 faltered, "I thought I'd sur
prise you, but after you expressed your
opinion about the.n an J spoke of v'sit
Ing here, I concluded to wuit awhile
Lefore telling you."
"Well, they weren't much like these.

some cases resulted from 0. dry season."

something e!?c to tell you; 1 didn't make

"You didn't? Wei, who dil?"
"Vour wife, Dorolhy."
"Dolly? Dolly mika these'"
The nok on Ills fner. was ludlcroua to

my face close to his, and I whispered,
"Forgive me, dear. I on'y ivinteJ to
know my pies were , Jiist as good as

If you please,'
"Well, iDolly, you shall surely lu It,

your pic-maklng, but by your womanly

The London Financial News say:
"While the political aspect of Bulgaria
and the Balkan states Is regardea with
keen interest by ail those who follow
the course of contlnc-nt.il evonUi, there
ore comparatively few who care or know
much about Bulgaria from a commercial
point of view. The principality has been
supposed to be moderately prosperous,
notwithstanding that it 1 a purely agri
cultural country, and, as far a3 Great
Gritain Is concerned. It takes a fair
Ehare of our manufactures. The people
are industrious and thrifty, and appear
to lie quite ready to adapt themselves to
the latest principles of co-operative com
1 blnation; in fact, so sensible are they
that one wonders how they can tolerate
the scandalous outrages on life nn l prop
erty that are so common in Soda, and
culminated in the murder of M. Stam-
buloff. Mr.' Vice-Consul Dalvlel reports
that Joint stock enterprise continues to
find great favor, and a company has
taken over the oldest private brewery in
Roustchouk, while another company has
bought up the rival private establishment
for making aerated wuters, and has now
a practical, monopoly, nearly all the sell
ers of the water being shareholders in
it. In Mr, Oalzlel's opinion, lli-j Bui
garlans will gradually establish joint
stock manufactories of almost everything
required In tho country, and as the
shares will' be In small amounts, they
will get every little dealer to be a share
holder. In addition to ths advantage or
combination there is another Incentive
to Joint-stock enterprise, because the first
undertaking of each sort "will be grant
ed Immunity from customs duty for a
number of years, an so placed In a fa
vorahle position to secure It against for
eign competition. It would appear, there
fore, that the Bulgarians have a pretty
good idea of business, and have quickly
caught on to the merits of trade combi
nations, "The general trade of Bulgaria In ISill
was not so good as In the previous year,
owing principally to the diminution w
the wheat exports on account of a noor
harvest and low agricultural prices. The
total exports amounted -to 2,91?.2A, of
which grain represented f2.23-i.852, and the
decrease of f.740,000 under this head, as
compared with 1833, is almost exactly ac
counted for by the smaller sum realized
for grain. Tho statistics show that 2;!2,0W
tons less grain were exported in lffli than
in 1893, with a decrease of 710,000 in
value, and the e'ffect of low prices Is il
lustrated 'by the fuct that while in 1891
the exports of grain were 33,500 tons larg
er than In 1S92, their value was about
73,0(iO less. On the other hand, the Im
ports last year amounted to 3,96:1,166, an
Increase of about flKO.rtOO over 1893, at
tributed to tha laying in of large stocks
In view of the new excise law. There
was, however, an increase of nearly 100,
000 In lmport3 unaffected by the new
law.vlz., In textiles, but It Is to be re
gretted that England derived no benefit
from It, since British exports to Bulga
ria under this head show a slight decline.
It may be doubted whether much reliance
can be placed on the otliclal figures, for
the custom house return of the export of
attar of roses is wholly inaccurate, ac
cording to our vlee-consul In Eastern
Itoumella. Returning to the general con
dition of Bulgaria, it must certuiniy be
admitted that, considering her Internal
troubles and her few years of Independ
ent political existent'?, progress has been
made which is encouraging fo:' the future."
